Israel favorably views the possibility that President-elect Donald Trump’s Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner will serve as a peace broker with the Palestinians, the South China Morning Post reported on Tuesday.

Hotovely was referring to a suggestion made by Trump during a recent meeting with New York Times representatives that the 35-year-old Kushner — who is married to Trump’s daughter, Ivanka — could help forge an Israeli-Palestinian peace agreement, a goal that has eluded so many past American presidents.

“I think he’d be very good at it,” Trump said. “I mean he knows it so well. He knows the region, knows the people, knows the players.”

In the interview, Hotovely expressed confidence that outgoing President Barack Obama would, during his remaining time in the White House, veto any possible Security Council resolutions condemning Israeli settlements or setting the parameters for a peace deal.

“I don’t see the American president not vetoing such a resolution because it is against his own interest,” Hotovely said. “His interest is that the sides will come and talk and [doing this] is counter-productive to that.”

What’s this nonsense about “peace-broker”? Why is there even a thought of peace when one side adamantly refuses to recognize the other side’s right to exist in any borders? It takes two to make peace, but it takes only one to prevent peace, and that one are the Arab/Moslems. In Islam’s sacred texts, the Moslem god and the Moslem prophet command Moslems to make war on the Jews in order to subjugate them to Islamic rule or to kill them. Therefore, Moslems can never make peace with Israel without violating the sacred commands of their god and their prophet.
